MaskPlus

Singapore’s two-layer cotton fabric reusable mask that claimed to offer 97+% antiviral and 99.75+% antibacterial protection after 30 washes—its last free distribution to the public, which lasted a fortnight, occured on Pi Day, 2021.

Compared to previous “inferior quality” reusable masks that were also given free to the public, MaskPlus needed to be washed only once a week even if worn daily—users could wear it every day for up to seven months.

Free Rider

A political label for an “ungrateful” citizen who selfishly voted for the opposition to ensure that there are some checks and balances for the ruling party, because they know that the previous government would win again, as the majority of voters trusted them for their decades-long competency and efficiency.

Singapore’s Prime Minister cheekily remarked that those who didn’t vote for his party are “free riders,” who just want to enjoy the best of both worlds: enjoying the financial goodies given out by the government while expecting the opposition to expose any unlucky MPs or ministers who are caught in some unethical or immoral activities like corruption, nepotism, and adultery.

Corona Spray

The new antiviral perfume that could used as a substitute for vaccines, which offers temporary Covid protection that may last for up to nineteen hours, especially for those who don’t want to be jabbed or boosted after being infected repeatedly despite earlier vaccine shots.

In the new normal, instead of spritzing her face with cologne, Karen uses a corona spray before leaving for work.

Covid-🇭🇰

When Hong Kong is politically being taken advantage of by China during the pandemic crisis, as the Chinese Communists passed a “security law” to weaken its Western-style political system following months-long pro-democracy protests that had plagued the city.

With the recent arrest of pro-democracy lawmakers in the midst of the Covid-🇭🇰 crisis, Hong Kong’s “One Country, Two Systems” governance model suffered a political stroke before deteriorating into a coma.

Covid-🌡

When temperature checking is unreliable in detecting those who are infected with the coronavirus but have no symptoms, or in identifying those who have symptoms but show no fever.

Cørøna Day

When there are no new cases of corona infections or deaths on a given day, which should be treated more as an anomaly rather than a new reality, especially in places that have recently recorded a low infection or mortality rate.

Although the infection rate in the local community is low or zero, however, with new daily corona cases from returnees who have been stranded overseas for months, it’s unlikely that the country would witness a Cørøna Day any time soon.
